The Perfect Stroller & What's with the indigestion?

Baby to be's new stroller. Isn't it lovely?. Black and Kacki ... my favorite colors as most of you know.

We have decided to bite the bullet and go with the Peg Perego Pliko P3. After hours of online research we narrowed it down today with a visit to Buy Buy Baby. I was looking at the Maclaren's and even the Bugaboo (who pays $700 for a stroller! Especially with some of the horrible reviews it gets???). After all the reviews I decided it was most likely going to be the PP but I wanted to see one and actually test drive it.

By the end of Kid #1 I loathed the stroller. Totally adequate for what we paid but it was just making me miserable. It was too short for someone with a LONG torso like me and hard to manuever. Just sticky wheeled. Plus it started to just fall apart. So I was on a mission. All I had to do was push the PP around the store for a second and I knew. This was the one. Who knew a stroller could bring such joy ;)

Adjustable handles, cupholder, stands on its own when folded, a step in the back for the girl to ride along when she's tired ... and best of all we found this $299 stroller online for $209 - NO Shipping and NO taxes. I know its just a stroller but considering the girl just gave hers up about 6 months ago ... I think I can amortize it over 4 years and be very happy with my investment. Daddy took a little convincing but not as much as I thought he would.

I get it. I am with child. But what may I ask is up with the indigestion? WHY? I don't get it. I eat something - anything - and I have instant indigestion. Lay down ... indigestion. What's with that? The baby is only the size of a lime to a lemon. Why is that's causing gastrointestinal distress? I need to buy stock in tums. I will take this over the nausea and vomiting though ... so I'll stop complaining.
